1 month post-op, am I eating too much?



Recommended Posts

Already checked into it before I went to Mexico, and they only pay if your diabetic. My PCP gave me a referral, but when I returned to work after surgery, they told me don't come in tomorrow were shutting the doors. Needless to say its been quite the month. Soooo, when I find another job I will look into the nut again. I just cant justify an extra expense right now. Then again maybe the new job's insurance will pay for it. Knowing my luck they would cover the surgery too after I just paid out of pocket! Went on an interview yesterday, and the job sounds great...plus it's down the street from the new health and wellness center the hospital opened. They have nuts on staff full time, a full gym, a pool, nuitrition classes, the works! Keeping my fingers crossed!

Don't ask me why I just told you all that...think being cooped up in this house is getting to me LOL.. But yes, I have looked into it :)

You can still go to a local nutrionist. Insurance doesn't pay for it anyway. It may benefit you to find one and make an appointment. One month out you still struggle with no appetite. But that's normal. As long as you keep hydrated you'll do good. Keep increasing everything slowly.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
